Description
The Hall is a small country house that may date back to the 16th century, with alterations and additions from the 17th, 18th, and minor changes in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features roofs of collyweston slate, slate, and plain tiles, all with stone coped gables and a saddleback ridge piece, along with two moulded ridge stacks. The building has a T-plan layout and stands two storeys high with attics. The main front is long and has irregular window placements, showing evidence of various construction phases with four distinct vertical lines.
The entrance features an off-centre 19th-century four-panelled door with a timber lintel. To the right of the door is a single light window and a blocked opening, while to the left are one two-light mullioned window, two three-light mullioned windows, and a further three-light timber casement set in a higher blocked opening that retains its cornice. Above, there are two three-light and one two-light mullioned windows, along with one single light and a two-light timber casement with a lintel. The 17th-century mullions are ovolo, some of which have been restored, and all have cornices above them. The plain tiled roof features two small dormers with sloping roofs.
The side front includes a two-bay wing with a slate roof, added around 1700, and a projecting gabled one-bay end on the main front. The rear wing has three two-light 20th-century stone mullion windows and a 20th-century door. The projecting wing contains one 17th-century four-light mullioned window with a cornice, and in the gable, there is a 20th-century two-light timber casement in a 17th-century opening. The rear of the projecting wing has two 17th-century three-light mullion windows. The rear features a collyweston slate roof, a door opening with a four-centred head and cornice that is now blocked by later glazing bar sash windows, and two additional three-light mullion windows above.
Inside, there is a large inglenook fireplace in the entrance hall and another 17th-century stone fireplace in the Hall, which is said to have originated from the first floor. The rear Drawing Room contains a fitted corner cupboard from the 18th century. The 17th-century butt purlin roof is largely intact.
